Noticing Bulging Veins or Achy Legs?
If your legs feel heavy, painful, or tired, or you notice twisted veins just under the skin, it may be a sign of varicose veins. Common symptoms include:
- Swelling in the ankles and feet
- Throbbing, burning, or cramping in the legs
- Itching around affected veins
- Skin changes near the veins
Varicose veins are usually diagnosed through:
- Physical Exam – The doctor examines your legs while standing to observe vein enlargement.
- Doppler Ultrasound – A non-invasive test to check blood flow and valve function in your veins.
- Medical History Review – Assessing symptoms, family history, and risk factors like pregnancy, obesity, or long periods of standing.
Why Early Diagnosis Matters
Early evaluation can:
- Prevent complications like blood clots or skin ulcers
- Help relieve symptoms faster
- Provide options like compression therapy, lifestyle changes, or minimally invasive procedures
If you notice any symptoms, don’t wait.
